More quotes by Woodrow Wilson
No man ever saw a government. I live in the midst of the Government of the United States, but I never saw the Government of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson
Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles.
Woodrow Wilson
The facts of the case will always have the better of [an] argument.
Woodrow Wilson
...to make the world safe for democracy.
Woodrow Wilson
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
Woodrow Wilson
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
Woodrow Wilson
The commands of democracy are as imperative as its privileges and opportunities are wide and generous. Its compulsion is upon us.
Woodrow Wilson
I confess my belief in the common man.... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn.
Woodrow Wilson
I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
Woodrow Wilson
I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something.
Woodrow Wilson
I would not speak with disrespect of the Republican Party. I always speak with great respect of the past.
Woodrow Wilson
The man who reads everything is like the man who eats everything: he can digest nothing, and the penalty of crowding one's mind with other men's thoughts is to have no thoughts of one's own.
Woodrow Wilson
May it not suffice for me to say ... that of course like every other man of intelligence and education I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised.
Woodrow Wilson
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
Woodrow Wilson
To think that I, the son ofthe manse, should be able to help restore the Holy Land to its people.
Woodrow Wilson
Only a peace between equals can last. Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit.
Woodrow Wilson
Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand--that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
Woodrow Wilson
I had rather be defeated in a cause that will ultimately triumph than triumph in a cause that will ultimately be defeated.
Woodrow Wilson
I lived a dream life (almost too exclusively, perhaps) when I was a lad and even now my thought goes back for refreshment to thosedays when all the world seemed to be a place of heroic adventure in which one's heart must keep its own counsel.
Woodrow Wilson
In the last analysis, my fellow country men, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are responsible for the acts of their government.
Woodrow Wilson
